Northern Iowa landed seven players on the all-Missouri Valley Football Conference teams, the league announced Monday.

Tight end Briley Moore, kicker Austin Errthum, defensive lineman Rickey Neal, defensive back Xavior Williams and offensive lineman Cal Twait were selected to the first team. Defensive lineman Bryce Douglas and linebacker Duncan Ferch were named to the second team.

Moore leads the Panthers in receiving, hauling in 486 yards and four touchdowns on 36 catches. Errthum has been a huge weapon on special teams while going 21-for-24 on field goals, including 3-for-3 in Saturday’s 16-13 playoff win over Lamar.

Neal (14.5 tackles for loss, 8.5 sacks), Williams (42 tackles, three interceptions), Douglas (65 tackles, 11 TFLs) and Ferch (team-high 102 tackles, four interceptions) have anchored the UNI defense all season as veteran leaders. The Panthers delivered three shutouts in a season for the first time since 1971.

Twait, meanwhile, has been a nice cog in propelling a UNI running game that’s racked up nearly 2,000 yards.

Running back Marcus Weymiller, tight end Elias Nissen and offensive lineman Jackson Scott-Brown were named honorable mentions, as well.

The Panthers (7-5) continue their playoff journey Saturday at UC Davis. Kickoff is at 6 p.m.
